Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has buyer's remorse, making it clear she regrets her vote for President Donald Trump in a series of tweets, describing him as an "absolute disaster" who exhibits "crazy old white man anger."
Banks, who had previously attended a Trump rally and initially declared support for then-Vice President Kamala Harris—citing Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump campaign as a dealbreaker—ultimately reversed course.
Despite writing that Musk “belongs nowhere near American politics. The End,” she later cast her vote for Trump and posted a photo of her completed ballot online.
But now, amid global trade wars, attacks against transgender people, the deportations of thousands of undocumented immigrants, Signalgate, the ongoing scandal involving a man trapped in a deadly El Salvador prison due to an "administrative error," defiance of the Supreme Court—among a host of other issues—it seems Banks isn't too happy with herself, or other Trump supporters.
She wrote:
"Ok I think it's time everyone who voted for Trump admit that we made a f**king mess. Like this is an absolute disaster."
"He's so petty and vindictive rn. Tbh, rightfully so, but not when the wellbeing and livelihood of billions of people - damn near the entire world lay in your hands. Someone needs to get him a cute little lorazepam rx and a high grade ashwaganda supplement because it can't happen like this."
"Nobody on Earth is afraid of crazy old white man anger. Old white men need to reinvent the archetype because it’s too predictable. Like China is just DUNKING on everyone right now.”

While people didn't necessarily disagree, many felt these statements were a little too late for the MAGA rapper and known contrarian.
While it's still unclear what spurred Banks to write the tweets, she can pretty much take her pick of any of the scandals of the last few weeks.
